   Life Insurance Awareness Month


Life insurance is designed to financially protect your loved ones should something happen, especially an early death. Refinancing your mortgage without escrow is great, but will your family be able to stay in your home if you unexpectedly pass? The Royal Arcanum is here to provide the insurance needed to ensure your family's financial security. Review your needs today.

It's also a great time to review your existing policies.
  • Is your address up to date?
  • Is your payment information correct? Changing bank accounts but not updating your check-o-matic payment could cause your policy to lapse.
  • Are your beneficiaries correct, with their correct addresses? We can't pay out policies to your beneficiaries if we can't find them, so be sure their contact information is correct.
Spend a few minutes this month to make sure your careful financial planning is in order. Add September as a yearly reminder to check your Royal Arcanum and all your insurance policies.

Here's the latest charitable project by our members.

 

Grand Council of Pennsylvania Supports the Summer Gifting Project - St. Elizabeth School

 

Did you know council and grand council donations to the Royal Arcanum summer gifting project is eligible for the IFS Program? The Grand Council of Pennsylvania did, and their donation, given at the Session, qualified them to receive half of their donation back after they submitted it as an IFS Project. Contributions to St. Elizabeth School of Baltimore can still be made by contacting the Home Office or our Fraternal Director.

Our Fraternal Director also reminds our members and councils that we are continuing to support Ukraine as they persist in fighting for their country, and donations through the Fraternal Department for Ukraine are also eligible IFS projects.
